New feature - save threads & posts

Bookmark and Quote are features that you should be encouraging people to use, as they aid readability of the threads.

Trying to read a thread it like trying to walk across a room where someone has strewn Lego across the carpet.
In bare feet.

Come on MNHQ - listen to your product and remove the clutter!

Why not nest them inside the Three Dots drop down menu?

I really don't understand why they haven't done that. How often are people saving and sharing posts that it needs to be visible under each post, but the well used quote feature is hidden?

The save share etc under each post is bloody annoying. Makes it very messy to read. Please put back to how it was

Me too 😱 And I had to hunt for how to "Quote" your post now!

*how or why

The addition of Save, Share, Report visible after every post creates visual clutter and interrupts smooth reading down the page from post to post.

I can't imagine hoor where I would use the Share button. I wouldn't email a single post to a friend. I'd be more likely to share a link to the whole thread (but still highly unlikely)

I hate this, the bottom of every post takes up so much of the screen and really wrecks the flow of threads now. Can't those options go in the dots? I keep pressing save by accident (another leftie!)
It's also running slower.

I can't see the comments for the footers!

Please don't remove all the buttons on the desktop site! Well, you can remove all but "add message" I guess.

I LOVE being able to save threads. I was bookmarking threads on my own previously. Bit agreed, please remove the buttons below every post. It’s an eyesore!

Honestly it’s awful. Makes my eyes hurt scrolling through a thread now. Just leave the bookmark and stick the rest of the stuff in the 3 dots.

Oh it's awful. It's so untidy. I don't mind change normally but this is awful. And what's the share button all about? Who we sharing with and why?

I assume people want to share individual posts to sound klaxons on twitter or something.

But I still don't understand who shares. MN is anonymous, why would you share details that would possibly out you? Why would you share every single reply?

Unanswered Threads never works for me any more

Didn't there use to be a link to active here?

Just adding to the cries of PLEASE GET RID OF THE BUTTONS UNDER EVERY POST

There, that’s better

I agree. The quote feature is far more useful than save and share, but is hidden under the dots, why not hide the new features? MNHQ insist on adding all these features that no one seems to ask for* but won't add the edit button that was mentioned over 2 years ago when premium was announced.

*I mean MNHQ say people have asked for it, but has anyone actually seen a request for a save or share feature? Heck i've seen more feedback requesting a like button.

I don’t see why save, share, and bookmark have all been highlighted on every single post. All three.

While quote remains in the three dots menu.

I mean I agree that it’s unnecessarily cluttered with it on every post. But it looks like someone has decided that users said they wanted to be able to access individual posts so the teams should whack that with a hammer.

MN must have loads of data about how often people use functionality like report, quote and such like. It’s hard to see how three ways of getting to individual posts seemed the top priority.

I suspect what they haven’t done is put the money into high-quality specialist user research. Getting someone to ask some users in a vaguely defined way is not the same thing.

Any sensible user research activity would presumably show how valuable many MN users find TIO as a navigational tool and a UR should have challenged any change that made that harder to find. You can’t please everyone all of the time, but you can prioritise the features that many users value highly.

It's so cluttered it's difficult to read posts, especially short ones. I don't like it at all.

Why has the 'see all' on the ops posts been moved to the other side of the screen? Absolutely pointless so why do it?

I know this was said on the other thread about Threads you might like or whatever it was but honestly has MN employed some sort of tech apprentice? Unqualified and cheap? That really is the only thing I can think of.

All these changes are absolutely awful and just making the site difficult to navigate. I just dont understand it at all.

Thank you for putting IO button back, amazing how much I use it.

The massive footer does have netmums feel to it.
